Description

The Language of Drumming provides a fascinating look into Benny Greb’s unique approach to making music on the drums—a complete and practical approach that is based on a concept familiar to everyone: learning a language.

This system begins with basic rhythmic “letters” and “words,” and progresses to include a wide variety of topics, including grooving, interdependence, improvisation, rudimental vocabulary, time awareness, and a Western form of the Indian phrasing system, all explained in a comprehensive, easily understandable system that is suitable for beginning to advanced level drummers.

The Language of Drumming is among the most creative music education DVDs ever made, displaying Benny’s unique sense of humour throughout, as he presents amazingly inventive ways to think about and develop your drumming. Also included are amazing performances with Pete Lockett, the Benny Greb Brass Band, and a great drum solo.
